One can only hope that Mr Arafat will, soon stop the murderous suicide bombers.

If he truly prefers peace, for the Palestine people, as well as for Israel and for the world, he will do so when he fully and finally realizes that any form of viable peace will come only if and when the long-sustained violence against Israeli civilians will altogether stop.
